Re-inventing a Classic

Posted on August 3, 2017 at 12:20 AM

This past weekend we presented Carol and Raul's wedding cake at the Clinton Town Hall in Clinton, Massachusetts. Our lovely bride Carol is very traditional and wanted to have an old-school wedding cake with separate tiers, and fountains. Sometimes making classic cakes can feel a bit dated but I was up for the challenge. Carol is young and vibrant so I wanted to highlight her youth by adding a modern twist to her vision.


I decided to give it a fresh look by adding ruffles emulating the wedding dress, and gilded decorations. The touch of gold made the cake look regal and timeless. The bride also wanted to highlight her Caribbean roots by having bright flowers. I added white lilies and coral roses with touches of champagne spray roses. To add to the tropical theme, the bride and groom selected for cake flavors Passion Fruit, Morir Soñando (orange cream) and Pina Colada.

Now let's talk about the size of this cake. Holy macaroni! it's huge! Let's go over all it went in to create this cake:

For this 250 servings cake I used 156 eggs, 14 lbs of flour, 18 lbs of butter, 24 lbs of sugar, 15 lbs of fondant and about 10 grams of edible gold dust (believe me, that's a lot of gold). It took 45 hours to complete, 1.5 hours to deliver and 1.5 hours to set up at the venue. 


After all was said and done, I think I accomplished what I set out to do, create a breathtaking, classic, and timeless centerpiece for a delightful couple who celebrated their love in from of all their family and friends, and I couldn't be more proud. Mission Accomplished! ;)

I would like to show appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of this particular incident. Right after scouting through the search engines and obtaining views which are not beneficial, I figured my life was gone. Living devoid of the answers to the issues you've solved by way of your main post is a crucial case, as well as the ones that might have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not noticed your website. Your own personal skills and kindness in playing with all the pieces was useful. I am not sure what I would've done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I can also now look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your skilled and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to endorse your web sites to anyone who desires guidance about this situation.

I must show some thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from this type of difficulty. As a result of exploring throughout the the web and coming across basics that were not helpful, I figured my life was over. Living minus the solutions to the problems you have sorted out as a result of your site is a serious case, as well as the ones which could have negatively affected my career if I had not discovered your website. That natural talent and kindness in taking care of all the details was very useful. I'm not sure what I would've done if I had not discovered such a thing like this. I'm able to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your reliable and results-oriented guide. I won't hesitate to propose your web blog to any person who ought to have direction about this subject.

I intended to draft you the little word just to thank you very much as before with your nice guidelines you have shown on this website. It has been seriously open-handed of you giving easily just what numerous people could have offered for an electronic book in making some dough on their own, mostly considering that you could have done it in case you desired. Those suggestions also worked to become a good way to fully grasp that other people have the identical desire the same as my personal own to know the truth many more when it comes to this condition. I'm certain there are a lot more enjoyable times in the future for people who take a look at your blog.
